I am a historian of early modern Rome. My research explores a wide range of topics
in political, social, and cultural history from popular politics, print culture, urban
space, and legal practices to artists' organizations and men's households. My
most recent book is Brokers of Public Trust: Notaries in Early Modern Rome (Johns Hopkins
University Press, forthcoming 2009). I am now working on men and masculinity in Baroque
Rome.
